I have Jupiter in Sadge. Aha!! That's why...

I have a book suggestion:
The following excerpt was culled from Stephen Arroyo's "Exploring Jupiter: The Astrological Key to Progress, Prosperity & Potential" (Drawing on the Source of Self-Confidence & Successful Risk-Taking to Achieve Your Personal Goals)

"The Jupiter Sign As A Mode of Learning

Educator David Hamblin, M.A. has published some extremely interesting and original findings in The Astrological Journal, published by the British Astrological Association in Summer, 1978 and Summer, 1981. He kept track of the Jupiter signs of students in various classes that he led, which was quite easy because they tended to bunch into one or two signs each year, since Jupiter stays in one sign for about one year. Each Jupiter sign group, he concluded, responded to a learning exercise in the manner of its Jupiter sign, and "seemed to behave in the classroom in the manner of their dominant Jupiter sign." He points out that these findings have important implications for teachers, enabling them to predict in advance the bahavior of particular groups, and thus, to design their teaching plans accordingly.

Although he had not finished evaluating all Jupiter's signs when he published his first two articles, the following quoted excerpts from his articles give a clear idea of what he discovered and enables astrologers further to determine with confidence specific characteristics of people with certain Jupiter placements.

The Jupiter-in-Gemini group responded to it very well, with very free and lively discussion and exploration of ideas; the Jupiter-in-Cancer group responded poorly because they preferred a more authoritarian style of teaching which would have given them more protection and less exposure; and the Jupiter-in-Leo group responded well, but in a much more flamboyant and "theatrical" style than the other two groups.

The Jupiter-in-Libra group coped only moderately well with the exercise. What was very noticeable, however, was that they were much less interested in the content of the exercise than in their own interpersonal relationships within the group. Their aim was to achieve group harmony for its own sake (rather than for the sake of improving their performances at the task, which did not greatly interest them).

The Jupiter-in-Scorpio group did better than predicted. Most of this class applied themselves to the task with a great deal of determination and enthusiasm. There were, however, two sub-groups which went through the task in an extremely somnolent state, displaying neither commitment nor hostility but only apathy. Thus the tendency of Scorpio to veer between extreme involvement and extreme apathy was confirmed.

The Jupiter-in-Sagittarius group did less well than predicted. They were an extremely effervescent and "bubbly" group, and their poblem with the exercise was that it did not sufficiently tie them down. They were always going off at irrelevant tangents or "goofing around", and the problem of absenteeism was greater than with any other group. However, their inter-group presentations were riotously funny, and were better than those of any other group except Jupiter-in-Leo.

I have had some experience with a mixture of Jupiter-in-Capricorn and in-Aquarius, but they seem, in fact, to show mainly Capricornian characteristics. They work hard, and their written work is mostly very good; also, they seem to enjoy discussion (perhaps because of the Aquarian element), but their attitude to work is extremely instrumental, showing an obsession with marks and grades, and they have caused more trouble to the lecturers with seemingly petty complaints about the "system" than any other group since Jupiter-in-Virgo.

[note from JG: I wonder what Mr. Hamblin would say about Pisces or Aries Jupiters. I would be interested to know. The above piece broadened my understanding of the learning process and seemed true to me. Previously, my theory of learning was to place students together and give them appropriate outlets for what they learn by their natal Mercury placement. The Mercury sign's element, Earth, Air, Fire or Water, would determne how one takes in and expresses information. I don't know how to apply that information, nor that I am the one to campaign for that reform. I have 4 sisters who are educators; they like their system the way it is.]
